Clarion Hotel® Grand Östersund

First time in Östersund - this hotel was easy-to-find and very central. The welcome I got at reception was warm and friendly - they found my membership information and gave tips about their app (which opened up a few perks). They asked about my cleaning wishes and remembered and executed them. The breakfast was good (although a 6:30 start felt late) and there was plenty of space. The room was big and roomy - as was the bathroom with a good shower. Really liked the room. At my level I missed coffee/tea-making facilities, but that was availabel in reception. The TV didn't support casting - so a HDMI cable from a laptop was what was required But I liked this hotel - particularly the welcome and how they take care of you. Really can recommend it.

Wanted a hotel with comfortable beds after a few days in the wilderness. Also strongly needed a nice spa. Apparently this is the only hotel with fair size 105 cm wide single beds in Östersund? All other hotels have tiny beds (80-90 cm wide or double beds 160-180 wide). The beds were comfortable. But the room didn’t offer much of other things. No usb outlets for a traveler with plenty of units to charge. This is also one of three hotels offering a relax/spa. The spa located in the basement, accessed by passing the lobby, was not cosy and me and my wife were in separate relax departments. The floors were wet and slippery. The tiny pool was busy with playing adult males and children. We were just lucky to have our respective saunas by ourselves. At check in we got the wrong key codes entered in our key cards, so I had to go back down to the reception to have that fixed. And even though I returned just five minutes after check in the receptionist didn’t recognise me. Parking was referred to a parking house across the street. It was overpriced and didn’t offer charging for our Tesla. Had to spend extra charging time at a 50 kw charger 10 minutes away from the hotel the next day before driving south. It’s odd that there is no Tesla supercharger in all Östersund. I can recommend a stop at Elvebäcken bakery though. That was within walking distance from the 50 kW charger in the outskirts of Östersund.

Every month I stay in Clarion for 5 nights. Good kitchen, nice and kind staff is for me the reason to come again and again. With the vouchers everyday it is attractive to have dinner in the hotel, which is excellent. See you next month

nice hotel with central östersund location. Good for vacation stays or for business. Hotel was clean and had great sleeping comfort. Did not have time for breakfeast so i can not rate it. When in östersund take some time and go to Frösön! Thanks for a great and safe stay 👍

We stayed here for one night on our way to Åre. The hotel is conveniently located downtown so you can walk to anything. This is a great feature! We had paid for a better room and the hotel was not fully booked but yet we got a room overlooking the parking lot. The room did not have 2 x full set of towels so we had to ask for extras downstairs. Also we are not sure that the room was fully cleaned since my husband found candy wrappers all over the floor by his bed. The breakfast was good and they did do time slots with Covid to space people out. There was a good amount of alcohol placed everywhere and staff were wearing masks. Overall pleasant experience and would recommend it for a work trip and / or one-two night visit to Östersund.
